“Commissions and Fees” is the culmination of Lane‘s storyline this season, and Season 5 is likely to indelibly linked to this episode. We discuss the lead up and depiction of the tragic event, and touch on the eclipsed B-story of Sally‘s strange date.

With one episode remaining for this season, what further surprises and developments will the final episode bring?

We discuss “The Other Woman,” an episode both memorable and uncomfortable, impressive and icky. We examine the choices made by the principle female characters, and chastise Lane and Pete for their role in the developments.

We take stock of the season so far, and ponder what may lie ahead in the final two episodes of the season.

Apologies for not having a new podcast online. We have recorded podcasts all the way up to and including the finale, I just have been preparing for a summer vacation and time has been limited. Thanks for your patience!

Betty has been absent for a while, but she returns with a vengeance in “Dark Shadows.” We find characters staking out their territory and being envious of others–none more so than the former Mrs Draper.

Meanwhile, Don attempts to maintain his territory at the agency with a campaign idea for Snowball.
